> If you self-sabotage the existing rent control regulations by reducing the supply of rented apartments, then of course the waiting times will increase, which you can then use as an argument to try to abolish rent control.

Which is why it shouldn't be done in isolation; you also need to have other regulations in place to increase the incentive to build more and better housing.
